The largest magazine covering the North American beverage marketplace has a new monthly reader’s choice poll on its website this month — and the Cazenovia-based business Life of Reilley Distilling and Wine Company has one of its products on the list.
Life of Reilley’s Disco Lemonade canned cocktail is one of 24 brands listed in the latest Readers’ Choice online poll by Beverage Industry Magazine. Other beverages included in the poll come from across the United States and include alcoholic and non-alcoholic beer, spirits, juices, coffee, water and wine.
“This is a big deal for us because we are now being mentioned more and more alongside national brands,” said Life of Reilley co-owner Ben Reilley. “We simply submitted a sample for this magazine and now we are one of only two dozen brands in the country to be up for this honor.”
Disco Lemonade, which was released last summer at the Cazenovia Farmer’s Market and his since gained national recognition, is a canned cocktail made of raspberry vodka, fresh lemonade and locally grown mint.
Voting in the online poll ends at 4 p.m. Monday, April 24. To visit the website and cast a vote for Disco Lemonade, visit bevindustry.com/polls/121-readers-choice-new-product-of-the-month-march-2017.
